"THANK YOU, THANK YOU, to everyone who made this fabulous
conference possible. I am continually amazed at the quality
of the ADE Conferences and love seeing all of my design friends
(and meet new ones) each year! It is an opportunity for me to
learn and grow and feel rejuvenated to continue my business. You
did a tremendous job and made everyone feel so welcome. I
look forward to all future ADE events."

"Matthew Mead was very cool! I really enjoyed
seeing his work (both in photos and in person). What a great
story about how he got into the design field and how his process
works. I really appreciated Doug's presentation. I feel
like I can go back and look at things a little differently and
get where I need to go.
Lastly, the trip to the Design center was awesome! I
loved learning about the process that Benjamin Moore goes through
to choose their annual colors. the presentation from Company
C was also great - very informative. The part of conference
that was most important to me was the connection with not only
my mentor group, but the rest of my peers. it is so rejuvenating
to network with such an amazing group of women and be able to
continue our relationships in person."

"I want to thank you again for the amazing ADE
conference, it was a lovely two days of inspiration, great people
and wonderful information. I really loved the speakers. Matthew
was far more than I had imagined, his perspective so interesting
because he is involved of all aspects of design (not just the
glamorous side). My favorite speakers were actually Doug Rawady,
because he made me look outside of my comfort zone, and Fran
Mooney. I
loved that Benjamin Moore's inspiration was taken from shows
and runways. I always find inspiration in fashion, so I thought
that the images they had put together were really provocative
and beautiful. Anyway, thank you both again for a great time! It
is always worth the trip!"

"I hope you realize how much we all appreciate the
time and energy you share in order to allow us to have an extraordinary
conference each and every year. You outdo yourself each year. in
some ways I'm sure that just putting us all in a room together
is exciting enough, but you go above that and provide excitement
and enrichment. You have managed to encourage awesome women
to gather and share their knowledge and souls. The amount
of hugs and love should be bottled!!!"
Karen E. Kelley - Morning Glory Redesign
"Thanks again for a wonderful conference! What
a great reunion it is! Both days were amazing and today exceeded
my expectations. I really enjoyed the Design Source venue, as
well as the 2 speakers. both presentations were well done...you
should be very proud! Loved it."
